This wedding reception was chilly but everyone kept warm on the dance floor! This night was full of warm lights, heaters and snuggly blankets and LOTS of fun as everyone danced and celebrated the marriage of Christine & Andrew. Every detail was perfect thanks to their amazing vendor team:

Kristin & Michael’s wedding was so much fun! I love how they used the entire space at Dove Ridge Vineyard as guests danced, mingled under the stars and enjoyed delicious food! They were adorable as Michael spun Kristin and held her tight through out their first dance. As the sun set, God painted a fabulous backdrop for them outside that guests and the couple enjoyed as they drank cocktails and mingled under the setting sun. The amazing views are even visible inside with the floor to ceiling windows on both sides of the hall. These two really value their friends and family and they took so much time to really connect with everyone at their wedding.

This party was so much fun! Lauren & Doug celebrated alongside their friends and that dance floor was hopping! The Southern Table and Events by Kristen pulled together a beautiful reception space for them. The fireplace – oh the fireplace – the floral on that was to die fore. Every little detail was just perfect. Outdoors sat the head table – the long statement table was adorned with simple and sweet flower arrangements while inside the ballroom were tall floral show stoppers. It was beautiful! The reception was full of dancing, tradition and so much fun. My favorite thing was their cake toppers – Gold dinosaurs dressed as bride and groom adorned their cake. I just loved it. This couple brought personality to their day in every way.

Thank you both for allowing me to be with you. It was an amazing day I will not forget. I pray you have an amazing future ahead in New York and I hope I get to see you both again soon.

River Crest Country Club was just stunning for Allie & Kane’s wedding. This was my first wedding to photograph at the club and I just fell in love with the ballroom, the staff and the location. It was the perfect place for this elegant and classic wedding reception. Tami Winn created an amazing space complete with custom gold dance floors, hedge walls, custom signage and an outdoor space that was so welcoming. A gospel choir entertained the guests during cocktail hour before Downtown Fever took the stage to welcome the bride and groom into their first dance. All night these two were rarely apart and spent the evening chatting up friends and family or shaking it on the dance floor. It was such a fun night – all their guests had a blast. I have never seen so much spilt alcohol – a sure sign of a GOOD party! As the night came to a close we said farewell and sent Allie & Kane off to Thailand for their honeymoon.

Congrats you two – it was really a pleasure being with you. I could see the Love you have not only for each other but also for God. I could see the Lord’s hand in every working part of this day. My favorite part of the entire day was when Allie’s little sister asked me what my favorite wedding was. I responded all of them – each for different reasons. She wanted to know what my favorite part of this day was and it was a no brainer – God – I could see God in every part of this day. It was so amazing!

Thank you Tami for pulling together this couple’s dream day and for bringing us together as vendors!

Happy New Year!!! I mean come on, is this not the most epic way to ever celebrate the new year? Surrounded by by their loved ones these two said more than I do. They said goodbye to 2015 and hello to a new year and a new life and Mr. & Mrs. They also threw the best New Years Eve party ever!

The ballroom at Fort Worth Club looked amazing! Tami Winn and her team pulled off a beautiful installation of floral, lighting, custom pieces and a floral halo that was suspended over the dance floor. It was the first time for the club to have a piece suspended from the chandelier and it just perfected the ambience and made everyone know that this night – was about the party on the dance floor! To go with their theme – the countdown to Conway – the couple had confetti tubes with “cue the confetti” tags and party horn place cards.

As the clock crept toward midnight the Project Band led the countdown and the room erupted in confetti, cheers, noise makers and lots of first kisses of 2016. It was perfect!

Glad I could ring in the new year with this couple, their families and an great team of wedding vendors:

Chelsea & Spencer hosted their reception at The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth. We always love working there as the galleries are a super special treat to be able to photograph in. The couple walked the catwalk and down the grand stairs to the great hall at the Modern to kick off their reception with their first dance. The museum looked perfect with the soft pinks, whites and golds and I just loved the unique head table installation. After dinner and parent dances the band’s horn section led back into the cafe for a night of dancing and fun. Chelsea and Spencer spent much of the evening chatting up their guest, giving lots of hugs and never to far from each others sides. Congratulations you two! It was an amazing night and I am so happy we were able to be with you!
This was one beautiful wedding made possible by the following team of vendors:

Rain is good luck they say and I believe it is true for Ashley & Derek. For their first look we had sunshine but it rained the rest of the day and when it does….make the most of it! In love with these rainy day photos we took right before this couple kicked off the party at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dallas. After getting a little wet Ashley slipped into her second dress, a slinky beaded gown to party the night away! Emerald City kept the floor packed all night long and we had fun until our feet ached with this couple and their families. A good band gets the audience pumped and everyone had a great time singing along and even making some appearances on stage! Derek pulled out his horn abilities and played a little while Ashley (along with her Mom, brother and Derek’s brother!) all spent some time on the drums. It was really a unique night! The ballroom at the Ritz was transformed and made lively thanks to all of Ashley’s vendors! Here is a run down of all her fabulous professionals:

While Kristen & Preston’s guests enjoyed cocktail hour we made the best of the last moments of light and took some lovely romantic images in Burnett Park. After using up the last of that golden glow it was on to the party and BOY did we party! I love a wedding where time speeds by, the dance floor is full and my heart is happy celebrating alongside my couples. Their wedding was exactly like this. We hardly ever left the dance floor one The Project kicked off the party. My feet hurt and I am sure like everyone else at this wedding that didn’t matter because our hearts were full!

At the reception Kristen made sure every guest had something to do. From dancing the night away to late night snacks and of course some fun party games! Putt putt, corn hole and giant Jenga were available for party guests as well as a photo booth when they wanted to step away from the dance floor. Every detail was thought of and lets not forget some awesome Koozie’s and coasters to commemorate this killer party.

All my readers know how much I love relationship so sometimes my favorite image from a wedding is an unexpected one. From this wedding you will need to scroll down, quite a ways to see it. At the end of the night, during one of the last songs. Kristen and her brother & sister were dancing together and I captured a moment amongst these siblings that made my heart happy. As a Mom myself, this is exactly the kind of image I would die to have of my grown children one day. It also shows what a great job her parents have done, that these 3 enjoy each other. Well done Mom & Dad!

Congratulations to the bride and groom! You two know how to party, how to love, and I know God will carry you through your lives with lots of fun and joy because of your attitudes.

After Cassie and Lee’s Louisiana wedding the next day back home in Fort Worth we celebrated with a party at the Ashton Depot! It was a fun and fabulous night filled with friends and lots of dancing. I know it was everything this couple wanted and more thanks to this amazing vendor team:

I’m almost sad this is my last post from this wedding. BUT I can’t be sad about these awesome images and this super sweet couple! Their reception was a perfect party and it came together with out a hiccup thanks to the guidance and planning of Tami Winn. As the guests finished cocktails in the grand lobby they were ushered back into Founders Theater to see the curtain raised and a marvelous reception awaiting them on stage. With guest musician, Texas Country star Corry Morrow, Meghan and Cody danced their first dance and kicked off a night of celebration.

I can not think of many places more grand for your wedding…what a backdrop!

The grand lobby of Bass Hall set with rented furnishings welcomed guests during cocktail hour.

The textured bouquet complimented Meghan’s gown.

This stunning large scale cake by Creme de la Creme made a statement across the room and tasted delicious.

Paper detailing by Simply Luxe from menu’s to these special signs were simply perfect.

A well executed vision by Tami Winn Event and the team of vendors she selected for a fairy tale wedding day.

Chandelier’s from Beyond created ambiance and depth in the space.

Some photos I love because they are beautiful, cool light, romantic. BUT this image just tugs at my heart. I loved seeing the connection between this couple and their families as they prayed before dinner. I hope this strength remains with them always.
